The vials are allowed to cool in a vial rack, after which time they can be measured using a photometer or spectrophotometer that accepts 16mm diameter cells. CHEMetrics COD vials can be directly used in our V-2000 multi-analyte photometer , CHEMetrics' single analyte COD photometers , as well as in many Hach† spectrophotometers and colourimeters (see pdf below for complete list).
